Others first appeared in GURPS High-Tech: Pulp Guns, Volume 1 (2008) and GURPS High-Tech: Pulp Guns, Volume 2 (2008), written by Hans-Christian Vortisch, but now contain period information. Some were developed from material in the Pyramid article “In Her Majesty’s Service” (2003), also by Hans-Christian Vortisch. Where a gun’s statistics differ from those in an earlier book, like High-Tech, use the Adventure Guns version. These minor changes reflect newer, more accurate information and details.

His presentation was titled “Are Antique Guns a Good graph to his audience, listing 16 classifications of antique firearms by Investment?” I discovered his speech among the copious books and value and their ranking, with Colt firearms being the leaders in catalogues I had accumulated in years of collecting. It was not the title appreciation due to their popularity.

It has been observed that Country made pistols of 8mm/.315” bore; Improvised pistols of 7.65mm/9mm calibre, .32”/.38” calibre are randomly used by criminals in Delhi and NCR regions. On the basis of crime cases received in the Forensic Science Laboratory for examination, the smooth bore illegal country made firearms chambered for pistol, revolver and rifle cartridges are very often encountered in criminal cases all over India and other developing countries. The possibility of identifying types of smooth bore firearms of country made and improvised pistols has been studied. On analysis of crime cases received for forensic examination, it has been found that 75% crimes are committing by 8mm/.315” calibre by country made pistols, 20% by 7.65mm calibre/bore improvised pistols and remaining 5% crime by other firearms like 12 bore country made pistol, .32”/.38” calibre/bore improvised pistols. In present study, firearms details relating to length of barrel, total length of firearms, internal diameter of barrel at muzzle end and breech end have been studied in view of forensic significance and may be useful for Forensic scientists, Law Enforcement Agencies, Police Officers and Judicial Officers etc.

    433 the HISTORY of the RIFLE the Rifle Is a German Invention

    433 THE HISTORY OF THE RIFLE I The rifle is a German invention, dating as far back as the close of the fifteenth century. The first rifles were made with apparently no other object than to facilitate the loading of the arm with an almost tight-fitting bullet. To this end, the grooves were made straight, without any spiral turning, and merely served to diminish the friction of the bullet in the bore. The bullet itself was surrounded by a piece of greased woollen or linen cloth (the plaster), and was thus hammered down without too much difficulty. These rifles, primitive as they were, must have given far better results than the smooth-bore small arms of the period, with their bullets of considerably smaller diameter than the bore. Later on, the character of the arm was totally altered by the spiral turn given to the grooves, which transformed the bore of the barrel into a sort of female screw; the bullet, by the tight-fitting plaster, being made to follow the grooves, took the spiral turn as well, and thus retained a spiral rotation round its line of flight. It was soon found that this mode of fixing the rotation of the bullet vastly increased both the range and accuracy of the arm, and thus the spiral grooves very soon superseded the straight ones. This, then, was the kind of rifle which remained in general use for more than two hundred years. If we except hair-triggers and more carefully worked sights, it scarcely underwent any improve- ment up to 1828.

    Safety Policy and Procedures

    Sons of the American Revolution Color Guard Safety Policy and Procedures Purpose The purpose of this document is to establish standardized Safety Policy and Procedures for the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution to be adopted by the National, State and Chapter Color Guards to promote uniformity for multi-state events and to facilitate the acquisition of liability insurance coverage for the Color Guard. State Societies may in their discretion adopt more stringent standards if desirable or required by the laws of their state. Policies A. Insurance: 1. All chapter and/or state societies that have compatriots firing weapons shall have a liability insurance policy that covers events at which Black Powder is fired. 2. All liability insurance policies obtained by a Chapter or State shall name the respective State Society and National Society as additional insureds. B. Training: 1. Before carrying a weapon at an SAR event, all compatriots will be trained in the safe handling of that weapon even if they are not firing. 2. Any compatriot who will be firing shall be additionally trained in the safe operation and firing of their firearm. 3. The recognized standards for training shall be (1) the National Park Service Manual of Instruction for the Safe Use of Reproduction Flintlock Rifles & Muskets in Interpretive Demonstrations (1/21/2010), (2) the NRA NMLRA Basic Muzzle Loading Shooting Course or (3) an equivalent training course taught by an instructor who has been certified by the appropriate State Color Guard Commander. If the color guardsman receives training from an outside source such as the NRA or NPS, the State Color Guard Commander or his designee will examine the color guardsman for familiarity with SAR uses of a firelock and provide additional training as necessary.

    salzer_40_47 2/14/05 3:17 PM Page 40 The Norwich Gun Industry Dick Salzer New England and, especially, Connecticut have been and remain the center of the American gun industry ever since the days of the American Revolution. Gun makers orig- inally were attracted to Connecticut because of that state’s many assets—year-round water power, a skilled industrial labor base, good ports and rail lines, and proximity to the major population centers of New York and Boston—all of these contributed to that centralization. These factors were especially prevalent at Norwich. The City of Norwich was founded in 1659. By the time of the American Revolution, it had grown to become one of the 10 largest cities in the Colonies.1 It was richly endowed with all of those assets desirable in a manufacturing site, not the least of which was the confluence of the Shetucket and Yantic Rivers, which merged at Norwich to form the navi- gable Thames River. As a large city by the standards of the breadth of the Norwich arms industry during its golden day, it offered sources of capital, a diverse population of years. skilled workers, support industries, and easy access to the This presentation will focus largely on the period New York and Boston markets through its sheltered port starting in the 1840’s when conditions were exactly right and rail lines. for the incubation of the arms industry.
